I finally got my seat covers from Legendary (only took a year and some change, but I get it). I get them and they have these light black spots on the vinyl. I called legendary and they said it's "antiqued" and that's the way they come. Has anyone ran into this before? My car is a daily driver so they will get used. If you have, is this noticeable once they are installed. I kinda feel disappointed and bummed about this. I waited a long time and saved up for them to get a good quality original seat covers.

Good question, they were sold under the original type of vinyl. There was ZERO mention in the description of antiqued color. I don't have a clue why anyone would want that. It kinda reminds me of the Ford vinyl that had that weird color. For the absolute best powder coating go to J.I.T powder coating, contact infomation is in my personal profile..

Legendary's reply might be code for " that's the only material we have at the moment"...No one would ever want something like that unless specifically requested under the conditions already mentioned.. Seems odd they wouldn't have confirmed the order after all this time before just kicking them out the door...EDIT: I'm not seeing any options that would state "antiqued', "distressed", etc... I wonder what's actually going on ? Last edited by screamindriver; 02/09/23 07:22 PM.

I had to eat those and order the proper ones Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Sounds strange to me After the pic's maybe someone else can EMAIL them and ask about ordering a set and if they have a method of antiquing using the BS about trying to restore a survivor? I do know that mold will stain vinyl leaving varying sizes of little black dots about the size of an 8 to 10-32 screw www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

Didn’t have anything weird going on with the color. A mopar guy used to have a shop in the area and he said he could sew some covers much cheaper than what legendary was selling, except it was in a generic material. Car wasn’t some spot on resto so I went with it and it was awesome. We used legendary foam. Maybe you could find somebody like that? Look for a guy about 82 years old. He will be the one you need. I want my fair share

Once on a 68 charger door panel, they told me there was never two tone blue panels made, when I ordered them. I had to send them my original and they had both colors in stock and made them for me. We ordered a set of covers for a 70 Cuda in the tan color and it came back gold in color. They said that was the correct color. I had to send them a pieces of the material for the seat and the side skirt. They sent me seats that were correct then. They will tell you whatever they can to get you to accept on odd colors.

I caught them on 69 0r 70 Mustang front set covers, The backrest pleats were 90° off to the lower cover. Called them and they said yes that's the way they were. I provided them several pictures of original seats that were not. He called me and said we have been making them wrong for years agreed to send replacements and asked that I not "spread" the word. Watching ebay and auctions i saw quite a few mustangs with the error www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com

Gotta be thousands of them out there, so it's really bold - I mean, foolish - to try to BS that. I do recall a few decades ago seeing that mottled look on burnt orange seat bolsters on a '70 GTX, but I don't know if that was legit/recovered/whatever.

When I first called he said that is what their documentation called out, and had been since they started making them. After the pictures of original seats, he seemed quite embarrassed, said it was a documentation error that had never been caught but the required steps to correct it had been taken As for the OP question on antiquing, I call BS on that www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com
